Hello there, i have a macbook black 2.4 and one of the ram slots seems to not be working as if i have any ram that slot, i get garbled/distorted video and the system freezes, but when i have any ram in the other 'good' slot it works fine.

If i bought a 4gb ram chip for it, would the machine work ok.

Is there any fixes for the ram slot? (apart from a new logic board obviously)

wow, thanks for the fast replies. I have spoken to an ebay seller and they said that this should work. I was wondering if anyone knows if this would work in the good slot i have, as i really want 4gb for my macbook.

You need DDR2 not DDR3 (unfortunatly this means it will be about 70 dollars instead of ~30). I know your computer can take up to 4gb of ram so unless each slot is limited then any 4gb DDR2 laptopstick stick should do.
